India corporate legal services

India is famous for its tight control over foreigners owning property in the country. Much time, as well as parliamentary and India legal service effort has been devoted to creating foreign ownership laws, ensuring they are fair and do not stifle India’s property market and economy, and enforcing them. India legal services must advise foreigners looking to buy India property that their funding must come from overseas, the unit must be used so that it doesn’t conflict with local customs, and total foreign ownership of condominium locks cannot exceed 49%. However familiar India lawyers are with these regulations, there is an even greater danger to buyers – unlawfully issued ownership certificates, as a recent case highlights. Corporate Law firm in Delhi India examines the case to find out how you can make sure you don’t suffer the same losses.

The unit owners can take legal action with their India business legal services against the Land Department for the damage they suffered as a result of the unlawful issuance of the ownership certificate. Of course, the justice in this Indian law case seems obvious. The owner of the unit suffered damage because the Land Department issued a certificate which was unlawful, and they should receive the purchase price of their unit back. After all, under Indian law it doesn’t exist – the Supreme Court ruled that the change from common to private property was unlawful, and the area would remain common property. However, they now faces a lengthy battle with their India corporate legal services and other Indian lawyers to get their money back – and the outcome is not guaranteed.

Indian law firms are advising that anyone buying a condo should conduct due diligence on it – not merely checking that the construction plans match the registration plans, but going through the entire checklist. Of course, you can have your India lawyers perform this for you, however if you’d like to undergo the process yourself, you should check the zoning (is it okay for residential developments of the size of the block?), make sure the owner’s name matches the title certificate (which you should be able to access through the Land Department), and visit the site yourself. A simple site visit either by the owners or their corporate legal services in India would have saved a lot of time in this case.

Legal Process Outsourcing

Legal process outsourcing Srevices in Delhi India

Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) is a field in outsourcing that involves high value added services. Practice of a law firm obtaining legal support services from a third party service provider is referred as Legal outsourcing. If the outsourced unit is based in another country then, the practice is known as off shoring.
At initial stage legal outsourcing involved only low-end works, for e.g.: transcription. Later this was enlarged to specialized task such as legal research, library services, pre-litigation document creation, consultation, application drafting, analysis, and so on. Now LPO has grown as a mainstream profession for offshore lawyers, attorneys and law firms.
Legal outsourcing can be classified into two processes. They are low skilled quantitative tasks or high end qualitative tasks.

Low skilled quantitative tasks include the following:
Paralegal services in India

Corporate legal services in India

Business Incorporation in India

Commercial Legal services in Delhi India
Outsourcing legal work helps to save up to 50% or more.
As The New York Times reported: The reason for the shift [to outsourcing legal work] echoes the reason companies are sending other work abroad: they save substantial amounts of money. Some companies say they can reduce certain legal costs by as much as 50 percent, and receive work that rivals what they can obtain in the United States. According to Dennis Archer, the President of the American Bar Association, The need to cut costs reaches across many departments, so it should be no surprise that it goes to the legal department as well.
Law firms across the world can significantly gain from offshoring legal services in India.
Besides savings, these legal services will also provide a gateway to well experienced legal experts in India.

Commercial law

Commercial law (sometimes known as business law) is the body of law that governs business and commercial transactions. It is often considered to be a branch of civil law and deals with issues of both private law and public law.

Commercial law includes within its compass such titles as principal and agent; carriage by land and sea; merchant shipping; guarantee; marine, fire, life, and accident insurance; bills of exchange and partnership. It can also be understood to regulate corporate contracts, hiring practices, and the manufacture and sales of consumer goods. Many countries have adopted civil codes that contain comprehensive statements of their commercial law. In the United States, commercial law is the province of both the United States Congress, under its power to regulate interstate commerce, and the states, under their police power. Efforts have been made to create a unified body of commercial law in the United States; the most successful of these attempts has resulted in the general adoption of the Uniform Commercial Code.

Various regulatory schemes control how commerce is conducted. Privacy laws, safety laws (e.g., the Occupational Safety and Health Act in the United States), and food and drug laws are some examples.

Outsourcing Services

Outsourcing involves the transfer of the management and/or day-to-day execution of an entire business function to an external service provider. The client organization and the supplier enter into a contractual agreement that defines the transferred services. Under the agreement the supplier acquires the means of production in the form of a transfer of people, assets and other resources from the client. The client agrees to procure the services from the supplier for the term of the contract. Business segments typically outsourced include information technology, human resources, facilities, real estate management, and accounting. Many companies also outsource customer support and call center functions like telemarketing, CAD drafting, customer service, market research, manufacturing, designing, web development, print-to-mail, content writing, ghostwriting and engineering. Offshoring is the type of outsourcing in which the buyer organization belongs to another country. Outsourcing and offshoring are used interchangeably in public discourse despite important technical differences. Outsourcing involves contracting with a supplier, which may or may not involve some degree of offshoring. Offshoring is the transfer of an organizational function to another country, regardless of whether the work is outsourced or stays within the same corporation/company. With increasing globalization of outsourcing companies, the distinction between outsourcing and offshoring will become less clear over time. This is evident in the increasing presence of Indian outsourcing companies in the United States and United Kingdom. The globalization of outsourcing operating models has resulted in new terms such as nearshoring, noshoring, and rightshoring that reflect the changing mix of locations. This is seen in the opening of offices and operations centers by Indian companies in the U.S. and UK. A major job that is being outsourced is accounting and preparation of tax returns.

A Day in the life of a Corporate Lawyer

Corporate lawyers ensure the legality of commercial transactions. They must have knowledge of statutory law and regulations passed by government agencies to help their clients achieve their goals within the bounds of the law. To structure a business transaction legally, a corporate lawyer may need to research aspects of contract law, tax law, accounting, securities law, bankruptcy, intellectual property rights, licensing, zoning laws, and other regulations relating to a specific area of business. The lawyer must ensure that a transaction does not conflict with local, state, or federal laws. In contrast to the adversarial nature of trial law, corporate law is team-oriented. The corporate counsel for both sides of a transaction is not strict competitors; together they seek a common ground for their clients. They are, in the words of one lawyer, “the handmaidens of the deal.” Facilitating the business process requires insight into the clients’ needs, selective expertise, flexibility and most of all, a service mentality. Corporate law requires an incisive mind and excellent communication skills, both written and oral. Through the negotiation process, lawyers constantly write and revise the legal documents which will bind the parties to certain terms for the transaction. This process is lengthy and typically corporate lawyers work extremely long hours. As a deal moves towards its closing, it becomes an exercise in stamina as much as skillful negotiation. As one person observed, “The most important trait a lawyer can have is a leather-ass. You’ve got to be able to put your butt in a chair and do the work.” The upside to this profession is the compensation is good and you usually work with smart people. One corporate lawyer remarked that she liked this side of the law precisely because the transactions take place among peers: There is no wronged party, no underdog, and usually no inequity in the financial means of the participants.

Paying Your Dues

In law, the pressure starts early. Law school admission is extremely competitive-the top twenty-five schools have an admission rate of about 10%. You can get tracked early: The kind of school you attend affects what kind of summer job opportunities you may have, which in turn affects the kind of permanent job you secure. The starting salary and kind of experience you have as a corporate lawyer can vary greatly depending on the size of the firm and geographic location. In a smaller firm, you will have more responsibility and more client contact early on, but the salaries can be tens of thousands of dollars lower than in a large firm. The content of your practice will be different too: A small town lawyer may take care of a house closing, drafting a will and a divorce settlement in a day; big city lawyers can spend months negotiating one commercial transaction.

Associated Careers

If they decide not to pursue partnership in their firms, corporate lawyers often make use of their expertise as an in-house counsel for a corporation. Others go into a related business such as investment banking, and a few teach.

About Paralegal

deepakhkb — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 07:08:45 +0000

Legal assistants, also known as paralegals, are a distinguishable group of persons who assist attorneys in the delivery of legal services. Through formal education, training and experience, legal assistants have knowledge and expertise regarding the legal system and substantive and procedural law which qualify them to do work of a legal nature under the supervision of an attorney.

In A legal assistant or paralegal is a person qualified by education, training or work experience who is employed or retained by a lawyer, law office, corporation, governmental agency or other entity who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which a lawyer is responsible.

A legal assistant/paralegal cannot give legal advice, represent a client in court, set a fee, or accept a case, which functions are generally considered the practice of law. Working under the supervision of an attorney, the legal assistant’s work product is merged with and becomes part of the attorney work product. In communications with clients and the public, the legal assistant’s non-lawyer status must be clear. Conduct client interviews and maintain general contact with the client, so long as the client is aware of the status and function of the legal assistant, and the legal assistant works under the supervision of the attorney.

Corporate law

deepakhkb — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:11:56 +0000

Corporate law (also “company” or “corporations” law) is the law of the most dominant kind of business enterprise in the modern world. Corporate law is the study of how shareholders, directors, employees, creditors, and other stakeholders such as consumers, the community and the environment interact with one another under the internal rules of the firm.
Corporate law is a part of a broader companyâ€™s law (or law of business associations). Other types of business associations can include partnerships (like most law firms), or trusts (like a pension fund) or companies limited by guarantee (like some universities or charities). Corporate law is about big business, which has separate legal personality, with limited liability or unlimited liability for its members or shareholders, who buy and sell their stocks depending on the performance of the board of directors. It deals with the firms that are incorporated or registered under the corporate or company law of a sovereign state or their sub national states. According to the American Professors Hansmann (of Yale University) and Kraakman (of Harvard University), the five defining characteristics of the modern corporation are:

separate legal personality of the corporation (the right to sue and be sued in its own name)
limited liability of the shareholders (so that when the company is insolvent, they only owe the money that they subscribed for in shares)
transferable shares (usually on a listed exchange, such as the London Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange or Euronext in Paris)
delegated management, in other words, control of the company placed in the hands of a board of directors
Investor ownership, which Hansmann and Kraakman take to mean, ownership by shareholders.

The last of these defining features is contested. For a start, it is pointed out that shareholders do not own corporations, they own their shares. Ownership of a corporation is complicated by increasing social and economic interdependence, as different stakeholders compete to have a say in corporate affairs. In most developed countries excluding the English speaking world, company boards have representatives of both shareholders and employees to “codetermine” company strategy. Corporate law is often divided into corporate governance (which concerns the various power relations within a corporation) and corporate finance (which concerns the rules on how capital is used).
Role of a corporate Lawyer: – The role of a corporate lawyer is to ensure the legality of commercial transactions, advising corporations on their legal rights and duties, including the duties and responsibilities of corporate officers. In order to do this, they must have knowledge of aspects of contract law, tax law, accounting, securities law, bankruptcy, intellectual property rights, licensing, zoning laws, and the laws specific to the business of the corporations that they work for.
The practice of corporate law is less adversarial than that of trial law. Lawyers for both sides of a commercial transaction are fewer opponents than facilitators. One lawyer (quoted by Bernstein) characterizes them as “the handmaidens of the deal”. Transactions take place amongst peers. There are rarely wronged parties, underdogs, or inequities in the financial means of the participants. Corporate lawyers structure those transactions, draft documents, review agreements, negotiate deals, and attend meetings.
What areas of corporate law a corporate lawyer experiences depend from where the firm that he/she works for is, geographically, and how large it is. A small-town corporate lawyer in a small firm may deal in many short-term jobs such as drafting wills, divorce settlements, and real estate transactions, whereas a corporate lawyer in a large city firm may spend many months devoted to negotiating a single business transaction. Similarly, different firms may organize their subdivisions in different ways. Not all will include mergers and acquisitions under the umbrella of a corporate law division, for example.
Some corporate lawyers become partners in their firms. Others become in-house counsel for corporations. Others still migrate into other professions such as investment banking and teaching.

Beneficial activities provided by a lawyer, or other person(s) under the supervision of a lawyer, to assist individuals in seeking or obtaining legal help in civil matters such as housing, divorce, child support, guardianship, paternity and legal separation.

Except where otherwise specified, delegations of authority do not include any authority to perform legal work related to the function delegated. With the exception of specified legal functions, the authority of the Secretary respecting the legal work of the Department is delegated to the Solicitor.

Most liberal democracies consider that it is necessary to provide some level of legal aid to persons otherwise unable to afford legal representation. To fail to do so would deprive such persons of access to the court system. Alternately, they would be at a disadvantage in situations in which the state or a wealthy individual took them to court. This would violate the principles of equality before the law and due process under the rule of law.

A number of delivery models for legal aid have emerged. In a “staff attorney” model, lawyers are employed on salary solely to provide legal assistance to qualifying low-income clients, similar to staff doctors in a public hospital. In a “Judi care” model, private lawyers and law firms are paid to handle cases from eligible clients alongside cases from fee-paying clients, much like doctors are paid to handle Medicare patients in the U.S The “community legal clinic” model comprises non-profit clinics serving a particular community through a broad range of legal services (e.g. representation, education, law reform) and provided by both lawyers and non-lawyers.
